What The Cottages at Rio Paseo's governing documents say
The Cottages at Rio Paseo is a planned community of single-family homes in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). These Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) establish rules for the entire subdivision and apply to all lot owners, residents, and tenants.
- Architectural review: Any exterior improvement visible from neighboring property — including changes to color, structures, landscaping, solar panels, antennas — requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Approval is deemed granted if the committee does not respond within 60 days.
- Pets: No more than 2 dogs or 2 cats per lot, and the combined total of dogs and cats cannot exceed 3. Pets must be kept in an enclosure, on a leash, or under control; owners must clean up after them.

Street parking is limited to 72 consecutive hours in emergencies, and guest parking is limited to 72 hours per 7-day period in designated visitor spaces. Inoperable vehicles and vehicle repairs visible from neighboring property are prohibited.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire lot and all improvements; no short-term leases or room-by-room rentals are mentioned. There is no stated minimum lease term in this excerpt.
- Use restrictions & home businesses: All lots are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside the unit, comply with zoning, involve infrequent visitors, and do not create a nuisance. No outside clotheslines, basketball hoops, or rooftop air conditioners are permitted.
- Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments, special assessments, and a cable service assessment. A transfer fee may also apply. Assessments are secured by a lien on the lot. The text does not specify current dollar amounts.
